The hotel offers cozy and clean rooms with portable heaters for chilly nights, though lacking in space. The balcony is a lovely touch, and the absence of A/C is not an issue due to cool nights. However, the basic amenities include no Wi-Fi and uncomfortable beds.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is just perfect, close to the river and on the path to the hike up to Machu Picchu. The rooms were cozy and warm, but unfortunately, there was a strong mold odor. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a basic buffet available before heading out for the day. The facilities were decent, but it seems like the hotel could use some updates at some point.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, despite being clean, had an old musty smell and the limited outlets were inconvenient for two guests. On the bright side, having a balcony overlooking the Urubamba River on the third floor added a nice touch. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with some staff being extremely rude while others were always friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for accessing the bus to Machu Picchu, away from the town's hustle and bustle but within walking distance to transportation hubs. The dining experience offered a good and plentiful buffet, albeit starting a bit late for early risers catching the first buses to Machu Picchu. The facilities were decent, but could be improved in certain areas.

On the bright side, the service was super friendly, kind, and helpful. The location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the town's center but close to transportation for Machu Picchu. Dining was decent but may not align with early bus schedules for Machu Picchu. The facilities were lacking overall.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel tucked away by the Urubamba River, offering affordable rooms with breathtaking views. The service was welcoming and accommodating, despite initial hesitations due to the upscale nature of the hotel.

The hotel was clean and provided heating, offering a street and river view without a balcony. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. The service during our trek to Manchu was very helpful and friendly; staff worked in down jackets in Aguas Calientes in May. The location was right near the bus stop for rides up to Machu Picchu, peaceful yet easy to explore the city. Dining before catching the bus up to Machu Picchu was good, with hot eggs cooked to order for the buffet. Overall, the hotel offers a great experience with a few minor downsides.

The hotel is located perfectly away from the hustle and bustle of the town's center, making it convenient for peaceful stays close to hiking trails but can be kind of humid. The rooms are older, provide heavy blankets for warmth, and are less costly, though they lack a great view. The service was kind and accommodating, particularly allowing special requests and ensuring a pleasant atmosphere for falling asleep. The dark location at night may necessitate better windows for quieter rooms. The dining experience at breakfast was early enough to enjoy the buffet before heading out, including hot eggs cooked to order. Wifi was missing and the bed was uncomfortable, however.
